 Mary Hilson, "The International Co-operative Alliance and the consumer co-operative movement in northern Europe, c. 1860-1939" English | ISBN: 1526100800 | 2018 | 208 pages | EPUB | 544 KB The book examines the history of co-operation in the broad context of the history of consumerism and consumption; of internationalism and the development of international organisations; and debates about international trade during the inter-war period. The fundamental question explored in the book concerns the meaning of co-operation. Was it a social movement or an economic enterprise? Did it aspire to challenge capitalism or to reform it? Did it contain at its heart a political vision for the transformation of society or was it simply a practical guide for organising a business? Hilson argues that it was both, but that an examination of the debates over the different meanings of co-operation can also illuminate broader questions about the emergence of consumer interests in the first half of the twentieth century, especially in a transnational context.  Benjamin Ginsberg, "The Imperial Presidency and American Politics" English | ISBN: 0367619962 | 2021 | 148 pages | EPUB | 645 KB Those who saw Donald Trump as a novel threat looming over American democracy and now think the danger has passed may not have been paying much attention to the political developments of the past several decades. Trump was merely the most recent―and will surely not be the last―in a long line of presidents who expanded the powers of the office and did not hesitate to act unilaterally when so doing served their purposes. Unfortunately, Trump is also unlikely to be the last president prepared to do away with his enemies in the Congress and transform the imperial presidency from a theory to a reality.  Greg Simons, "The Image of Islam in Russia" English | ISBN: 0367642638 | 2020 | 128 pages | EPUB | 881 KB This book covers the developing and important issue of the role and place of Islam in the increasingly complex dynamics of Russian politics. It is achieved by examining various aspects of Islam and Muslims in Russia from a multidisciplinary perspective.  Richard Shorten, "The Ideology of Political Reactionaries " English | ISBN: 1032122706 | 2021 | 270 pages | EPUB | 614 KB The Ideology of Political Reactionaries offers a new perspective on the beliefs reactionaries share, presenting a theory of reactionary ideology in the process. Rather than taking self-contradictions in the reactionary imagination as a reason for diminishment, complexity is taken as a challenge.  Cemil Aydin, "The Idea of the Muslim World: A Global Intellectual History" English | ISBN: 0674050371 | 2017 | 304 pages | EPUB | 797 KB When President Barack Obama visited Cairo in 2009 to deliver an address to Muslims worldwide, he followed in the footsteps of countless politicians who have taken the existence of a unified global Muslim community for granted. But as Cemil Aydin explains in this provocative history, it is a misconception to think that the world's 1.5 billion Muslims constitute a single religio-political entity. How did this belief arise, and why is it so widespread?

(ENG) Simon Coffey, "The History of Grammar in Foreign Language Teaching " English | ISBN: 9463724613 | 2020 | 256 pages | PDF | 3 MB Taking a broadly chronological approach, this volume of original essays traces the origins of the concept of 'grammar'. In doing so, it charts the social, moral and cultural factors that have shaped the development of grammar from Antiquity, via the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Modern Europe, to current education systems and language learning pedagogy. The chapters examine key turning points in the history of language teaching epistemology, focusing on grammar for language teaching across different European cultural contexts. Bringing together leading scholars of classical and modern languages education, The History of Grammar in Foreign Language Teaching offers the first single-source reference on the evolving concept of grammar across cultural and linguistic borders in Western language education. It therefore represents a valuable resource for teachers, teacher-educators and course designers, as well as students and scholars of historical linguistics, and of second and foreign language education.  Glenn Harlan Reynolds, "The Higher Education Bubble" English | 2012 | ISBN: 1594036659 | 56 pages | EPUB | 1.9 MB America is facing a higher education bubble. Like the housing bubble, it is the product of cheap credit coupled with popular expectations of ever-increasing returns on investment, and as with housing prices, the cheap credit has caused college tuitions to vastly outpace inflation and family incomes. Now this bubble is bursting.
